Lily and her friends left the Temple of Radiance just in time to greet a golden sun as daybreak painted the peaks with colors of fire. They descended quietly, all rehashing over and over everything that had happened. Lily was ushered into some new level of peace that filled the void where the Harbinger had swept out from.
It was when they returned to the sanctuary that they saw it full of new faces: people seeking knowledge, protection, and guidance. The sanctuary was now a beacon for healing, where light and darkness could be recognized and balanced.
And it was these novices whom Lily led forth, reinvigorated by the sense of purpose that had awakened in her heart. Her journey was a long way from over, though shadows were yet to be faced and mysteries yet to be unearthed. But she also knew she was stronger now, having allies by her side, as well as a legacy of light to guide her.
She had finally felt peace that was real with the first rays of the sun creeping over the sanctuary. The Harbinger was gone, and her journey had taken her farther than she ever could have imagined. She was no longer just a protector but now a keeper of balance between light and dark, carrying the wisdom of those who had come before her.
At that very moment, she knew whatever lay ahead, she was ready to face head-on.
